It's worse than that...  You're right on that point, but there's an
additional point.

If dma_map_sg() coalesces scatterlist entries, then ret will be smaller
than src_nents, and ret indicates how many scatterlist entries to be
walked during DMA - you should not use src_nents for that.  I couldn't
see where the driver used that information.  In fact, the driver seems
to be capable of walking more than src_nents/ret numbers of scatterlist
entries: it just keeps going with sg_next() until it hits the end of
the allocated scatterlist.
